BREAKING: Kamala Harris selects Tim Walz to be her running mate

PHILADELPHIA – Donald Trump’s backers say they sighed a sigh of relief over Vice President Kamala Harris choosing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, pointing to his “radical” record and non-swing-state origins. The Trump campaign, in its first statement on Walz, painted the governor Tuesday as being as “leftist” as Harris and claimed he has been trying to make Minnesota a liberal den akin to California, where Harris is from. “It’s no surprise that San Francisco Liberal Kamala Harris wants West Coast wannabe Tim Walz as her running-mate – Walz has spent his governorship trying to reshape Minnesota...

Democratic presidential primary front-runner Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) recently told reporters at a campaign stop in New Hampshire that she is “not a Democratic Socialist.” The next question should have been obvious: “Well, then, what kind of socialist are you?” Harris has been surrounded by socialists and communists her entire life—beginning with her staunchly Marxist father. Harris is the older child of two 1960’s Berkeley radicals: Shyamala Gopalan, a cancer researcher from the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India, and Donald J. Harris, an economist from Jamaica. Gopalan and Donald Harris were very active during the civil rights and...

Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, works for the law firm DLA Piper, which “has nearly 30 years of experience in communist China with more than 140 lawyers dedicated to its branch of “Investment Services in Communist China.” He has just been appointed professor at Yale for future school lawyers at the fine points of communism. When she was elected to the United States Senate, Kamala Harris appointed a pro-communist Senate chief of staff, Karine Jean-Pierre. Jean-Pierre actively participated in the New York-based Haiti Support Network. The organization worked closely with the Communist World Workers’ Party of North Korea/pro-communist China and supported...

Another Trump ad on Kamala shows her bailing out dangerous criminals during the summer of 2020 with her promotion of the “Minnesota Freedom Fund”

Now that Old Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 presidential race due to his ailing mental state, Democrats are proposing more debates against President Donald Trump. Donald Trump already knocked one Democrat candidate out of the race. He now has an opportunity to take out their next candidate. But Trump is not so eager to make plans to debate Miss Word Salad Kamala Harris. He’s not even sure she will be the Democrat candidate! The Trump campaign released a statement on Thursday that was one for the history books. Responding to the scheduling of a future debate, the Trump camp...

Vice President Kamala Harris, seeking the Democrat nomination for president, recently lobbied to eliminate gas-powered cars by 2035 — transitioning fully to electric vehicles (EVs) — despite the impact on millions of American auto jobs. As part of a green agenda while running for president in the 2020 Democrat primary, Harris detailed her plans to abolish sales of gas-powered cars by 2035 and ensure that Americans can only purchase EVs when looking for a new car.

The FBI has identified Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old man from western Pennsylvania, as the person who attempted to assassinate former President Trump at a campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. Crooks reportedly shot Trump from a rooftop perch some 130 yards away during a rally in the small town, striking the upper part of Trump’s right ear while the former president was speaking to rallygoers ahead of next week’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. One attendee was killed, and two others were injured during the incident, the agency said, and Crooks was shot dead. The victims have not...

Melinda French Gates, billionaire and ex-wife of tech giant Bill Gates, has pledged $200 million to a number of pro-abortion organisations, at least five of which explicitly spend money funding abortions or lobbying Governments to repeal legislation that protects the unborn from abortion, making her one of the biggest individual donors to pro-abortion organisations in the world. Writing in the New York Times last month, Gates announced she would be giving $1 billion (£782.4m) over the next two years “for people and organizations working on behalf of women and families around the world, including on reproductive rights in the United...

The director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, declared “it’s time to be more aggressive in pushing back on anti-vaxxers.” During a talk titled “Celebrating 50 years of immunization progress,” Ghebreyesus said: “You know the serious challenge that’s posed by anti-vaxxers, and I think we need to strategize to really push back.” “I think it’s time to be more aggressive in pushing back on anti-vaxxers,” he stated. “I think they used COVID as an opportunity, and you know all the havoc they are creating.”

From NEXTDOOR policy. “…We stand in solidarity with neighbors advocating for racial justice and those speaking out against hate. These issues are relevant in neighborhoods everywhere -- that’s why we allow conversations in support of Black Lives Matter, Stop Asian Hate, and other movements that advocate for racial equality and civil rights anywhere on Nextdoor as long as they adhere to our community guidelines.

Some of the anti-Israel protests taking place at U.S. college campuses, including the recent demonstrations at Columbia University, have been supported by organizations that traveled to communist Cuba to receive resistance training, an ADN investigation has uncovered. ADN’s investigation coincides with a recent Sunday report published by the New York Post that revealed a radical NYC based organization known as The People’s Forum familiarized anti-Israel activists with Black Lives Matter protest techniques just hours before they stormed Hamilton Hall at Columbia University, and that the group was incited by Manolo De Los Santos–a radical activist organizer with deep ties to...

Pope Francis’ favorability rating has been dropping constantly among U.S. Catholics over the past 10 years, according to an April Pew Research Center poll. From 2015 to 2021, the pope’s favorability rating dropped by 7 percentage points, from 90 percent to 83 percent, Pew found. More telling still, perhaps, is that in the last 3 years his favorability rating has declined by 8 more percentage points, to a record low of 75 percent. Practicing Catholics who attend Mass at least once a week are the least supportive of him, giving him a favorability rating of just 71 percent. A mere...

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the State Department's new senior DEI hire will "destroy" the foreign affairs agency and make America "less safe" in an interview Friday with Fox News Digital. Zakiya Carr Johnson was hired by the State Department last week as chief officer of diversity, equity and inclusion. Fox News Digital exposed her past anti-American remarks, including her saying the U.S. represented a "failed historical model" embedded with racism, colonialism and other isms. Carr Johnson has also called for tradition to be dismantled. Pompeo believes Carr Johnson's hire was part of the "Biden administration's core commitment…...

Not too long ago, Gavin Newsom got caught with his hand in the cookie jar of political cronyism. In response to a draconian law passed raising fast-food worker wages to $20 an hour, known as A.B. 1228, Newsom carved out a little exemption for his friends at Panera Bread on the laughable grounds that these establishments bake bread on the premises. In reality, the owner of several Panera establishments was a high school buddy who was a really good donor to his campaigns. Once caught, Newsom backed off, but right when he thought no one was looking, he went right...

One of United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres’ personally selected advisers has been outed as a rabid anti-white racist and bigot. Ayisha Siddiqa is her name, and she’s a Pakistani American and proud Marxist who serves as a climate change adviser to Guterres. When not busy advising Guterres, she can be spotted on the social media platform X spouting anti-West, anti-white, and anti-sane dogma. In an X post published in May of 2020, she admitted that she “got into climate activism” not “to protect the environment” but to disseminate her anti-West propaganda to the rest of the world. “You want to...

Protests have continued this week in Cuba over one of the island’s worst ever economic and energy crises as food shortages and blackouts push the country toward the "verge of collapse." Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio took to X on Tuesday to say the disastrous situation was down to Cuba’s long-standing Marxist policies. "The reason Cuba is on the verge of collapse is because Marxism always leads to hunger, poverty and shortages," Rubio said The senator, an ardent critic of the Cuban regime, took to the social media platform to push back on accusations levied by the Cuban Deputy Foreign...

The Italian newspaper “Corriere della Sera” releases several passages from Pope Francis’ autobiographical book entitled "Life. My Story in History," written with Vatican journalist Fabio Marchese Ragona, set to be released on March 19 by HarperCollins. In the passages released on Thursday, the Pope clarified that were he to resign, he would not choose to be called “Pope Emeritus” but simply “Bishop Emeritus of Rome." In that case, he would live in the Basilica of St. Mary Major “to return to being a confessor and bring communion to the sick.” The Pope clarified this possible scenario in case of his...

a larger campaign to drive Americans out of rural areas and centralize access to food, the Biden administration is rolling out a draconian and needless new wastewater rule that could put small and mid-size food processing facilities out of business. A large group of United States senators and representatives are demanding the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) withdraw a new meat and poultry wastewater proposal, which they claim “stands to hamper rural economies and drive small- and mid-sized processing facilities out of business.” “Given the technical complexity and high costs of wastewater treatment alterations, coupled with the massive expansion of the...

(Mar. 5, 2024) — Democrats and many Republicans are desperate to prevent Trump from being elected again. Since 2009, those complicit in The Obama Fraud did and said nothing to stop the Brennan- and CIA-groomed, ineligible, identity-fraud con-artist Barack Hussein Obama from being sworn in by John Roberts. Both parties committed treason and violated their sworn oath to protect the Constitution. With that inaction, both parties gave America’s government and her military to her enemies at the highest level. President Trump represents a chance of that treason being fully revealed and acted upon. Hillary was the planned-and-promised-after-Obama cover president, and...
